Read this regarding intake resonance from intake valve to throttle plate. http://www.iao.com/howthing/resonhtw.htm
Now having read that, how does the CAI use resonance to alter hp since it is before the throttle plate?
Maybe by extending the plenum chamber volume when the throttle plate is wide open and damping the intake pulses more? (similar to the way that longer collectors on exhaust headers do)
I could speculate further but it usually gets me into a hole I can't get out of.
